I found my induction stove to actually be more responsive than gas. The main issue with induction is the noise in my experience, but a more expensive stove might not have that problem.
so why are they doing it?

Could it be that the biggest company in the world benefits from these policies? By acknowledging that a resume might be affected by lack of opportunity, Microsoft gets to sample from a larger pool of potential excellence.

It’s pretty simple really. Isn’t the success of Microsoft proof that diversity is actually beneficial to private industry?

I’ve come to the conclusion that “meritocracy” - when used in the context of diversity - is just another code word for “racist fuckhead”, and honestly I’m sick of hearing about it.

lmao at the idea that any company is giving the trendy DEI heads any authority, much less hiring approval authority.

I wish DEI groups had as much power as right wingers fantasize. Maybe we'd see more under represented communities in C-suite, instead the head of DEI trots everyone out for a meeting to talk about what they want to do and then "mysteriously" leaves 8 months later when they realize "wait, I don't actually get to do anything".
The current round of negotiations were directly triggered by Switzerland trying to restrict freedom of movement and realizing they couldn't do that without cancelling all the treaties.

The EU can afford to stick to its guns in this indefinitely. It's made it clear for a decade that any change to the treaties with Switzerland can contain minor concessions, but only in return for a bet reduction in the deviations from the EEA framework.

With respect to euro scepticism, that largely fell apart thanks to Brexit - most of the parties arguing for the same for their countries have moderated their stances significantly, and support for the EU increased massively. Including in the UK where Brexit is widely seen as a massive mistake, and it's more a question of electoral calculus (neither of the big parties can afford to alienate the Brexit diehards yet; they're spread across the political labdscape) than anything else when rejoining gets in the political agenda.
in the case of systemd the pty remains user owned once the root program is attached, this allows any user process to read and hijack the root program. sudo, su and doas ymmv.

I also hate microsoft. I worked with their piece of shit browser for 20 years. From ie3 onward they all sucked and lagged behind. Their OS was complete garbage and somehow they managed to penetrate like 90% of the desktop market.

but beyond that typescript i find is cognitive overload for someone who considers themselves an expert at vanilla javascript. It more than doubles the development time. I rarely use the inflections because 50% of the time it points to "any" so its utterly useless...and these kids who claim "but you won't get an undefined error!" is just well fix your fucking undefined error when you see it...is my response. WHy do I need to 3x my dev time and hurt my brain in the process so some jackass doesn't have to worry about an undefined variable.

I also think the reason MS released TS is because they were unable to find good devs who knew JS. ALl that typeshit in other languages (most enterprise crap like java and .net/c#) could now all be converted to ts devs without having to rehire. TS is for offshore teams imo.

That being said I will say on a team of 50+ devs on the same codebase I would vote for typescript becuase you will get a shit load of js spaghetti otherwise from these people who can't be bothered to understand js.

I'd assume all the graphics computation happens in C++ code via WebAssembly, which is then rendered in the browser via WebGL. The Typescript part is the glue and all the non-gfx parts of the interface, like the top bar / sidebars / etc.

Since Figma is also all about multiplayer, I imagine they might have a system that takes changes to a document, packages them up in a compact binary format, and then sends that over the wire (to Figma or to other connected clients). A decent decent target for a WASM module would probably be that serialization/deserialization step.

It means a programming language that is better designed and works better than most of today's programming languages, to start. Think better than C and Golang, simpler than Python.

It also means a compiler. A language with better toolchain and better development experience.

It doesn't mean an IDE, at this stage. An IDE might be as much work as the language. Although integrating with an IDE can improve the debugging experience.

What would your dream programming language look like?
My experience with tubeless is that once I found a good setup, it's set and forget. I don't get punctures (none at all), maybe once a week top up the pressure, once a year top up the milk and that's it.
It was like that with Panaracer GK+ tyres, but they have to be under pressure when I don't ride for longer periods, otherwise there are issues. Now I use Pirelli Cinturato Velo tlr and it's the best tyre I ever had.
My sister had her first Python class in college. She used an LLM successfully for all her class exercises during the year.

But during her final year project, she got stuck. The task got too hard for her and the LLM. The learning curve was broken.

Like a game designer that gives the player increasingly powerful items, educators should preserve that curve, or it becomes impossible to learn anything.
Right, but the skeletal mesh workflow has been in production use and being developed since the late 1990's. It's extremely mature and a mind boggling amount of $$$ have been spent on optimizing it and designing hardware around it since that time.

I appreciate all the tangential discussions, but the two key points im trying to make are:

1) SDF's are not likely to supplant detailed hand modelled/cleaned up meshes any time soon, but will continue to be used alongside and in conjunction for all kinds of other cool stuff (soft shadows, ambient occlusion, fonts etc as seen in UE4/UE5)

2) ergo, a modeller based around SDF's is not going to replace mesh based modellers like Blender, Maya etc anytime soon, even to a small degree.
It's something Typescript doesn't want to do. Their goal is to remove the type annotations, maybe add some code for backwards compatibility, and otherwise do as little as possible to stray from the untyped JavaScript equivalent.

Reminder: the supposed greatness of induction stoves will be irrelevant to most people who would be forced to replace their gas stoves by some hypothetical ban; induction stoves are substantially more expensive than traditional electric stoves and if people are made to prematurely replace an appliance most people will be going with the most economical option. The ban would be forcing people to use inferior stoves.

And do you know what's cheaper than both? Fume extraction. If the kitchen fume threat warrants legislation, that legislation should specify air quality standards and not stove technology. If those air quality standards can be met by gas stoves with fume extraction, that should be permitted.

Even so, if you wrap it in a function and make sure to document what's happening, I would argue that a version without asm() is preferable. It gives the compiler more leeway for optimization and is easier to read for someone who isn't well-versed in GCC's weird asm syntax.

See the generated code for these two alternative implementations: https://godbolt.org/z/3vno6G46j
Mecha is never going to disappear. Mecha are great for toy sales.
Yeah, I think that's a good point. I'm actually quite on the fence about dynamic and static typing - I like both. With a small team that knows what they're doing, I tend to go dynamic. With a larger team, it does tend to become a bit of a mess and weird workarounds to not having static typing (like some mystical 100% test coverage) start to surface.

I love the approach Python and MyPy took there: Python supports but ignores type annotations. You can add them to any part you want and check it with MyPy, but you can truly do it gradually, and you can always decide not to do it. An approach like that would fit JavaScript beautifully, I think.
That’s why I favour simple single-speed bikes for commuting. Almost nothing can go wrong with them, and you can fix almost anything that does go wrong with a small bike tool. It’s also nice that they’re so cheap you don’t really care too much if it gets stolen, so there’s no stress about locking it up somewhere a bit dodgy.
>> stove-grade electrical backup systems

> What the heck is that?

Try searching for "UPS" on Amazon. How many of the search results would be capable of powering an electric stove (to cook meals) through a several-day electrical outage? If you looked at larger units (and generators) which were capable of doing that - what physical/electrical/safety issues would you face in actually connecting them to a typical residential stove? And once you're into the generators - those have their own fuel safety issues.

> Where in the western world can't you run an electric induction stove?

Anywhere that does not have electrical power available, during a power outage. Which the comment I was replying to very specifically pointed out.

Apple gets a lot of shit, but the one thing that they do exceptionally well is making things discoverable, putting their UIs in plain language (so e.g. something irreversibly destructive is specifically and clearly called out as such) and having abundant clear, well-written step by step instructions. Say what you like about them, but they put in the work to try and make their products approachable.

Google seem to scarcely understand their own products, let alone know how to put across their functionality in a coherent way.
Curiously, C actually has bignums. Now. In C23, they added a _BitInt(N) type (e.g., "_BitInt(1024)" for a 128-byte type).

The compiler support for that is limited, though. To let N be >128 in Clang, -fexperimental-max-bitint-width=N flag can be provided. If N>128 and _BitInt(N) is divided by something, the compiler will just crash, but +, -, * all work as expected.
That’s partially the competitive aspect as well. High school is peak “everyone can find something to compete in” for a lot of communities. Before that sports are usually more about play and afterwards tend more to recreation or exercise. Again, just generalities.

"Clunky" I get is about UX, but "Slow"? In what way is UX of other lorem ipsum sites slow?

That sort of experience is why I don't begrudge people paying "extra" for Apple products (and do so myself). Apple put the legwork in to actually try and document their products in a friendly way, and provide support to users who need it.

Figuring out features of Google products seems to require random web searches and YouTube videos, because they don't appear to care about their customers' outcomes more than a second after they've handed over their money. Apple just... has how to guides on their website. The end.

They circumvent laws of heat transfer by pumping energy directly into the pan at the speed of light and creating heat right there.
I feel that a good build is just as important as a high price. Above the very cheapest bso (bicycle shaped object) a reasonably priced bike can be amazing, but it might need striping and rebuilding properly. There could be a correlation here between higher priced bikes being likely to have been assembled by a more competant person and them 'being better'. It wouldn't take much to ruin a badly built expensive bike and it wouldn't be nice to ride.

By not following any of these nonsensical assumptions, it's my computer, I will modify my hardware and software running on it however I want.
FWIW that case was about whether copying the interface file almost verbatim was fair use, not about the API itself, IIRC.
Why do you jump on a specific scenario and then assume it’s the norm? The vast majority of people with a gas range never did anything like that, if even they’ve heard “sous vide” before.

There is no way around the fact that a gas range combusts stuff and that combustion products are mostly toxic. Regardless of what you put in your pan.

Glad we can agree on that. Unfortunately many evals use that or plain SSIM, which is still L2 at heart.

The paper's comment on this is: "The selection of anchors is based on the general popularity of the codecs and the availability of the software implementations. We only intended to use codecs which are standardized internationally."

> using an ITU recommend methodology

While this has some helpful guidance on viewing conditions, it is unfortunately still subjective (what parts are observers looking at, what counts as "annoying") and is more useful for detecting severe artifacts, which less relevant in practice because that's hopefully not the quality range people are using.

Also, these results are quite old and both encoders have changed since then.
